Steph Curry is reportedly the latest baller to get into the film and TV industry. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the Golden State sharpshooter is set to join forces with Sony Pictures Entertainment on a multi-year development deal.

Curry's new production company, Unanimous Media, a nod to his unanimous MVP win in 2016, will produce content that will touch on electronics, gaming and virtual reality. According to THR, the production house will churn out faith and family-friendly content.

"I've been blessed to have this platform and I want to use it to affect the world positively," Curry said in a statement to THR. "Partnering with Sony to share inspiring content with a global audience was a foregone conclusion."

NBA players have been no stranger to Hollywood, going back to when Michael Jordan appeared with Bugs Bunny in "Space Jam" more than 20 years ago. Since then, LeBron James, who was great in "Trainwreck" with Amy Schumer, too, started his own production company. James is producing a show for HBO based on sneaker culture through his and Maverick Carter's SpringHill Entertainment. They have already produced a game show for NBC called "The Wall," and are working on "Survivor's Remorse" for Starz.

But the king of former NBA players working in show business right now is Kobe Bryant, who won an Oscar earlier this year for his short film, "Dear Basketball."

Now Curry is the latest NBA player to try his hand in entertainment.

"Steph is a transcendent figure in current culture. His wide-ranging content creation interests overlap well with our varied businesses and we have been equally impressed with his team," Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, said in a statement. "We are honored to have been drafted and now we know how lucky Golden State feels every day."
